Interesting to hear a guy experience a Buell for the first time in his life. lmao where he thinks he's doing something wrong when he feels the engine and idle vibrations. Coming off a Ducati he has officially gotten a taste of raw motorbike American style... but he can't find neutral

A Buell in New York is just not right. Enjoy the experience with him, I was soaking wet after my first throttle up from fear on the unrefined - how did you say youyou "shonky" crude, no frills motorbike.

I felt sorry for that guy though. The oil was probably getting effected from heat being generated by the damn slow traffic and the tranny may have been getting sluggish in that "no neutral" footage. No lane splitting in NY.

Alrighty, watched yer vid homie. New Yawker dude speaks in colorful tongue. Out to impress I guess via youtube channel plus he's sporting a Buell - testing in City traffic and over a bridge? Really! Get yer arse out on an open road if you want a hearty taste! That Buell is aching to Go and is gonna start climbing!! Ride it!!Why couldn't he get the bike into neutral,.... can you explain that to me?

When I'm on my KLR or Bandit 1200 I always try to kick it down to neutral as I come rolling up to an intersection with a light or stop sign. I drop it into first when I"m at a dead stop. . .don't like those clunks shifting into first too soon. Sometimes I have to let the clutch out in neutral again or just inch the bike forward a hair and try for first again especially when it's hot. I use 10w-40 Castrol conventional oil. . .not synthetic.

A similar thing happens on the KLR upshifting into second sometimes if I don't give it enough oommpphhh or short shift at slow speeds. Different bikes have their own quirks and you learn to adjust and adapt to them and live happily ever after.

I had KLR for a while. It was the smoothest shifting bike I had ever rode. Others have said the same. Smooth is all directions. You had something going on there...
